Cartoon of two boys walking. One says, “I come from a broken family. Dad broke it and Mom left it that way.”
Yes, I hate divorce. Of course, I’ve never met anyone who likes it. This was a hard topic to deal with. But one that needs to be discussed with compassion and empathy, especially in the church.

Cartoon of two kids. One says, “I’m trying to decide whether to build you up today or tear you down.”
Cartoon of a church usher and a guy with a flying disc. The usher says, “You can’t be an usher because you think offering plates are Frisbees®.
As a child, I often wondered what it would be like if the ushers tossed offering plates across the congregation like they were at a Frisbee® competition. It would put some excitement in the air, and depending on the song used during the offertory, it could be quite a show!

Cartoon of a boy saying, “A big store like this and they don’t sell pet fire ants?”
The customer isn’t always right. I can’t imagine anyone wanting fire ants for pets. But stranger things have been claimed as pets, haven’t they?
I got this idea when my family drove by the Fire Ant Festival in Ashburn, Georgia. We were on our way to Florida, when we accidentally stumbled into this festival. I was relieved to find out pet fire ants weren’t for sale.
Cartoon of a girl asking her teacher, “I heard you singing during worship. Why don’t you use Auto-Tune?
A similar incident happened to me once. A girl came up to me after I taught her class. She had helped me in worship. She informed me I made a better teacher than a singer. So I thanked her. What else could I do?
Sometimes in children’s ministry, you have to wear different hats. I used to fret about whether I was a good singer or a teacher. At least now I know I’m a better teacher than a singer. The only question remaining is, how bad of a singer am I?
Don’t answer that. I’ll let the kids critique me instead.
